Abstract (EN)
In accordance with İbn Sînâ, human being is a presence existed of the relation of two very different ores, known as soul and body. The relation between soul and body is an obligatory relation receiving its resource from God. In other words, when each body was created, a suitable soul convenient to its character is also is created. There doesn't exist any body without soul, and every body has also got a soul. So we can say that transmigration of soul is unmeaningful. According to our philosopher, body getting separated in to its own elements with death becomes soil. However soul is without death, immortal. Because, soul doesn't exist together with a body that is an object, body is nothing but only a tool for soul. In this way, in the philosophy of İbn Sînâ, the principle "Ore is the immortality of soul" becomes an input for all the estagologic problems. İbn Sînâ says that there is a tight relation between the position of soul with body and the position after leaving the body. In his opinion, the soul staying continuously after the body's death, because of being a considering ore, it feels either enjoyment or sadness. Its feeling of enjoyment means its happiness; its feeling sadness means it's unlucky. There isn't any other situation for it, by means of these topics, happiness after the death or being unlucky will belong not to body but to soul. Because soul after leaving the body, as an individual, is conscious of its own existence It is seen that, İbn Sînâ has founded the understanding of life after the death as belonging only to the soul leaving the body outside. However, he, in his most important works, expresses that the life after death will occur for both soul and body. So, we can say that İbn Sînâ, in spite of his different approaches, agrees that the living after death will happen for both soul and body.
